9. Areca Palm

This indoor plant was part of the research made by NASA as well, where it showed an incredible potential to remove carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and formaldehyde from the surrounding air, which are quite dangerous to lung health.

According to another research published this year, the areca palm does a great job removing acetaldehyde, a biomarker responsible for acute respiratory distress syndrome. Also known as ARDS, this life-threatening condition can cause breathing problems by allowing fluid to leak into the lungs.

If you struggle with asthma or respiratory issues and you’re worried that the air you breathe isn’t helping you at all, get yourself an areca palm!
